I'm a literary noob and picked up pic related last week for eight dollars. Is it just a meme to say that you need to read a book in it's native language? Obviously if you can read Russian then that's the better way to go, but who the fuck actually reads Russian?
At the same time part of me feels like I won't be getting the most out of this novel if I read it in English.
I watched a shitty documentary about the now defunct Barnes museum. Someone said that Cezanne was worth like half a billion dollars.

I don't understand what you're saying. If it's a reference to the book I haven't read it yet.

I wouldn't suggest starting with Karamazov if you're a novece in lit
Pick up some classics like Gatsby or Catcher in the Rye

I'm actually heard of Russian being a very poor language and primitive in comparison to that in English. Which obviously means that you definitely don't have to learn it in order to read it later on in its original shit-language. Moreover, in English it should be read even better.

Well, you certainly sound like an authority on English and language in general with that post.

>aren't on top of English in the first place
What the fuck did you just say about my English? Did you know that your mom has sucked my penis recently and i had a great deal of pleasure by doing so to her?
>>7679187
and? what part of it you didn't understand?
>>7679209
Never said anything about it not being understandable. It's really poor English and doesn't do anything to support its ridiculous claim.

And, accordingly, the combination of the two (incompetent English, along with comparing the overall goodness of English and another language) meant the post was just begging to be called out.
